Mantis, a character in Marvel Rivals, is currently facing a frustrating hitbox bug that affects headshot detection. This issue has led to inconsistencies for players using Mantis, making it difficult to land headshots on enemies. This has prompted the Marvel Rivals community to urge developer NetEase to address the bug to enhance the gameplay experience.
Although Mantis is not the most popular hero in the game, she offers unique abilities as a Strategist. Her skills, such as Allied Inspiration and Soul Resurgence, provide essential healing and damage boosts to teammates, allowing for an effective support role. In addition, Mantis has a normal attack that lets her engage enemies directly when needed.
However, players are highlighting a significant problem with her hitbox. According to a Reddit user, the area around enemies’ heads seems overly generous when targeting Mantis, which leads to hits not being registered correctly. This could result in gameplay that feels inconsistent, causing frustration among players.
The hitbox bug has garnered significant attention, with a Reddit post receiving over 2,300 upvotes in just a few hours. Some players expressed that aiming with Mantis feels “weird” and advocated reporting the issue through the game’s official Discord for a potential patch. Given the competitive nature of Marvel Rivals, where accurate aiming can decide the outcome of battles, it’s critical for NetEase to resolve this issue to maintain Mantis’s pick rate.
While the timeline for a fix remains uncertain, Marvel Rivals does see regular updates. The hope is that future patches will address the hitbox issue for Mantis, allowing players to enjoy her character as intended. The game thrives on its dynamic Marvel universe, offering exciting gameplay that encourages strategic collaboration among characters.
